    • Have an energy drink to go with it. Hard to beat it really hits the spot.
    • Fair enough Chief! But the profit share is 50% of net! Not totally sure but lets say the profit is $120m which I think I remember was what it was a year or so ago? So Entain is going to not be putting all of their $60m into stakes and so the amount available for stakes is going to be half of what the stake money currently is at very best?? I believe that the racing hierarchy here, really don’t understand just how badly affected they are going to be when the Entain money guaranteed is stopped!!! There is no way on earth that things can be anywhere as good as it currently is and I believe that it will be catastrophic but lets just stay positive for the next couple of years. Head in the sand mentality at the moment will not have a positive outcome, never will!
    • Yeah, he opened favourite for jockey challenge, crazy really, i knew he would battle on horses with even ability against others. Kaching….
    • A sparkling track gallop at Cranbourne from Jimmysstar (NZ) (Per Incanto) has Ciaron Maher considering an unlikely start in the Gr.1 Newmarket Handicap.   Maher said he would confer with the sprinter’s owners before deciding whether to accept in the Group One sprint over 1200m at Flemington on Saturday.   The Maher team had been planning for the gelding’s return in the Gr.1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield on March 21 before heading to Sydney for the Gr.1 T J Smith (1200m) at Randwick on April 4 and the Gr.1 All-Aged Stakes (1400m) two weeks later.   Mark Zahra headed to Cranbourne on Tuesday to put Jimmysstar through his paces as regular rider Ethan Brown is sidelined through suspension until the end of the month.   Zahra has been booked to ride Tenytris in Saturday’s feature sprint but will be aboard Jimmysstar if it is decided the gelding heads straight to William Reid.   Final acceptances for the Newmarket Handicap are taken on Wednesday morning.   “Mark’s coming back from his ‘fake broken leg’, but he was pretty keen to get down here this morning and he worked super,” Maher joked.   “I will have a chat to the owners, and it will be either this race or the William Reid, but I think Jimmy is coming up really well   “We only gave him a short time off and we wanted to keep him active.   “The planning has been to only have one run here and then go to Sydney for the T J and the All-Aged, but I’ll have a chat to the owners after today’s work.” View the full article
    • Lyle Hewitson hopes a favourable tempo can bring the best out of Ready To Run graduate Storming Dragon (Star Turn) when Jamie Richards’ runner tackles the Class 3 New Lantao Bus Handicap (1200m) at Happy Valley on Wednesday night (4 March).   Lucky Planet, Matters Most, Metro Power and Beauty Glory have led and won races this season, setting up the possibility of a potent speed battle, one which could play into the hands of fast-closer Storming Dragon.   Hewitson said: “I’ve only ridden him over 1650 (metres) and although he gives the impression that he would enjoy going further, his best form has been over 1200, and he just seems to relish the speed and hit the line strong over the 1200.   “It’s good to be aboard him, and he’s probably at a mark now (rated 62) where he’s ready to go. He’s been running well, and he has a decent draw (two).”   South African Hewitson has 20 wins this term. He said: “There’s a lot in his favour. If he puts his mind on the job off this rating, then he should be capable. Lots of speed (in the race), and that’s going to be to his liking.”    Richards, who surpassed 100 Hong Kong career wins in February, saddles four runners tomorrow with Giddy Up (Fiorente), Happy United (NZ) (Sweynesse) and Samarkand (NZ) (Mongolian Khan) his other entries.
